What exactly is the Feast?

The Feast for the Soul is a 40-day period from January 15 to February 23 each year where people from all over the world commit to 40 minutes each day of personal practice. The personal practice may be any sort of spiritual or religious practice, from prayer to meditation to yoga or whatever suits the individual. The Feast offers free guided meditations from many different religious and spiritual paths for each of the 40 days to support personal practice so that individuals can sample a variety of options before choosing one that resonates with them.

Are the guided meditations live?

The Feast occasionally hosts live online meditation presentations. A few volunteer groups around the U.S. hold local meditations in their cities so that participants can meet together daily or weekly.

Do participants all meditate at the same time or can I do this on my own schedule?

Each participant chooses the time of day, number of minutes and location where they will do their personal practice. Many people try to meditate early in the morning, but there is no schedule to follow, so each person can accommodate their own daily routine and responsibilities.
